A member asked:
Is mirena (levonorgestrel) safe to be implanted while exclusively breastfeeding?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Progesterone only birth control such as the Mirena (levonorgestrel) are safe for breastfeeding moms. The "copper t" would also be safe and for many women the side effects from the "copper t" would be much less than from a mirena (levonorgestrel).
